Audio Key Frames Scrambled On Import From P Pro

I'm importing three audio tracks from Premier Pro 5.5 into Audition, and each audio track may contain several dozen separate clips.
On some tracks I loose all my audio key frames, and the "rubber band" has snapped
to the bottom and the track has no output. On other tracks, I'm loosing about a third of the key frames, poof, gone. In some cases, the key frames have been moved around within the clip,
say I created a fade up at the beginning with two key frames, and after import the first key frame, at -00 db, has moved ahead five seconds, and the second key frame is
at the proper level, but also has been slid over five seconds. Other key frames randomly drop to -00 db from where they originally were.
In P Pro I adjust my audio automation by setting key frames and moving the "rubber band". I then export by Edit > Edit In Audition > Sequence and check the "Send
Clip Vloume Key Frames" box, and un-check the "Render Audio Clips Effects" box. In the P Pro timeline I have not seclected any individual clips or tracks, I don't
believe I need to.
A multitrack session opens in Audition, and my key frames are scrambled up.
Using Mac Pro with OS 10.6.8 , P Pro 5.5.2 and purchased the CS 5.5 Creative Suite last December
Thanks in advance for any help that may keep me from going nuts Tom/ Miami

Thanks for the reply and I do apologize for some of the newbie questions, I downloaded MPEG StreamClip and attempted the convert.
I have to admit the following QT movie inspector details of my original video are below and play fine in QT but once I convert the video appears choppy at times almost as if clips are being dropped?
Is my default format simply not compatible?
If not then what would you recommend my settings be in MPEG Streamclip to export without any choppiness?
Again I do thank you for your help!!!!

Grading over a transition imported from Premiere Pro

Anyone out there have a simple, fast and relaible way to deal with grading over a cross dissolve imported from Premiere Pro?
How do you (can you) dissolve from one grading layer to another over the transiton clip? I have been having no luck at all with the dissolve feature in SpeedGrade.
If anyone from Adobe is out there listing, SpeedGrade needs a drag and drop cross dissolve effect / tool like Premiere.
Working on longer pieces with multiple cross dissolves - SpeedGrade almost becomes useless!
When can we expect a proper upgrade to SpeedGrade that will bring it in line with Premiere and After Effects?
Cheers.

Unless you turned on proofing, that would have no effect whatsoever.
It sounds like the root problem is that color managed applications are having problems displaying the color you expect - which means that you expect something unrealistic, or that your display profile doesn't match your actual display.

No Audio Key Frames Added When Using Track Mixer

Yesterday this worked fine today not.
I edited the video from a live panel at Comic Con. The audio was recoded on a Sound Devices 8 track recorder.
After the picture was edited I added the 6 tracks of audio to do the audio mix using the track mixer as I always do.
I set all tracks to write and lowered all the faders all the way down then as the timeline played I brought up one fader on the presenter and after a few moments I stopped the time line. All channels go to touch I move the scrubber back to before I started to raise the fader and played back, nothing. No audio no fader movement. When I look at the Show Key-frames,Track Key-frames I see no key frames added.
Any one have an idea?
I edited a panel yesterday in the same project different sequence same settings with video and audio recorded the same way it work fine.
Thanks
Dennis
Well I found out how to fix it. Make a new Sequence copy my edited clips into it, add the audio and now it works right.
It looks like the sequence got corrupted so just creating a new one fixed the problem.
I have seen problems with corrupted sequences before but not causing key frame write issues.
Just a side note I also earlier had red frames showing up that usually mean dropped or bad frames but after restarting the program that went away.
By the way this was with CC 2014
I will mark this answered

The in and out points, unless changed, are set for the whole sequence. The automation will not write if this in to out area does not included the mix section. It might be that the in/out area of your first sequence was incorrect but this was fixed when you made the new sequence.

Way to control audio key frames across multiple tracks in one fell swoop?

Hi everybody. Let's say I have 5 layers of audio, and I want to key frame levels and fades across all of them. Is there a way to sync the tracks such that, any changes I make to one will apply to all? Ala, the way one makes changes to both tracks in a stereo pair in one fell swoop.

Nest the sequence and make the moves on the resulting "mixed-down" audio. All audio should appear as a simple stereo pair in the nest. Adjust here.

Audio Key frames not staying set

I have three pieces of Smartsound music in my video. I add keyframing (rubber banding) the audio to accomodate a voiceover. After I set the key frames ((about 20) I look back and they have all move positions. I've gone back a reset all the keyframes about three times and each time after I finish, the key frames are all in the wrong position. I have tried repairing permissions, as well as doing a "save as" in FCP...but the problem persists. Any suggestions?

Forgive me for saying it, but it sounds like possible user error ... certainly keyframes do not usually move all by themselves. But hard to guess exactly how or why these keyframes are moving.

Importing from finalcut pro

My projects are normally 1 hour or more. When I import into DVD pro I use quicktime and it seems to take at least 4 hours or more. Have attempted to try compressor but I am not that clear on that software. Am I missing something or is there a better way to import a program that is an hour or more into a dvd buring software that will not take that long. I like the different looks that I can get from DVD pro.

Export self contained current settings from FCP.
Open compressor.
Drop that file into the pane,
Then select the 90 minutes best quality DVD encode and AC3/dolby2 audio and apply it to that movie.
Hit submit.
You have to spend some time learning your tools.

Encore CS6 crashes when importing from Premiere Pro CS6

When sending a project to Encore as a Dynamic Link from Premiere Pro, Encore hangs then a message pops up that it has stopped responding then closes. How do we get this to work?
The computer has an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and is running Windows 7 Pro x64 with Service Pack 1. Adobe CS6 Master Collection is installed. The computer is joined to a Windows Server 2012 domain and the user of the machine has local administrator rights.
The Adobe suite has been uninstalled and re-installed multiple times without success. Sometimes after re-installing, sending a Dynamic Link to Encore will import as expected once, but then after restarting the computer, the problem will occur again. This has been tried with and without installing any Adobe updates. The system has also been wiped and had Windows and all software clean installed on it again which has not resolved the problem.

Why am I not getting the audio when I send a video from Premier Pro to encor to make a DVD?

I created a video with only one audio track. It plays perfectly in Premier Pro
Then I send it to encor to make a DVD. When I play the video in the monitor in encor, there is not sound, audio track
What am I doing wrong. I have done this successfully many times before

To further add to the equation if I go to System Preferences and switch my output from my MOTU Firewire to the internal speakers of my Mac Pro I can hear the clip I just dragged and couldn't hear before in the Timeline AND when I then switch back to the MOTU I can now hear that same clip I just dragged in the Timeline. But if I drag a new clip from Events to Timeline then I cannot hear it again until I go through this same song and dance.
Help?
Weird... It appears that there is a problem with the audio not being routed to the right output.
I don't have a MOTU interface, but could it be that there is an updated driver for it?
Also, I'd try to let OnyX run its cleaning and maintenance routines.
If all else fails, at least you can shorten the workaround: you don't need to go to system preferences to change the output for sound. Just option-click on the volume icon in the menu bar and select the desired choice.

Aspect ratio wrong when importing from QuickTime Pro

Movies shot with Cannon still camera came out sideways. I used QuickTime Pro used to rotate them. They then look fine. However, when I import them into iMovie HD6, they remain vertical but are flattened down. I am sure it's a settings thing but this recent PC convert needs help!

So you shot in "portrait" instead of landscape?
I hope these are 320X240 instead of 640X480 files.
Easiest fix it to create an all black image file and use it as a background in QuickTime Pro.
Make the image 640X480. Import with QT Pro.
Select all and Copy.
Switch to your 320X240 movie (now 240X320), select all and "Add to Selection & Scale (Edit menu).
Open Movie Properties window.
Highlight the video track and adjust its offset and dimensions. Set its track "layer number" lower than the image file layer number. Negative numbers can be used.
Once happy with the file export to DV Stream.
Use the .dv file in iMovie.

Arbitrary data param not importing from Premiere Pro project into After Effects.

Hi,
I have an AE SDK plugin effect that works in Premiere Pro and After Effects... the effect has a bunch of standard parameters and one Arbitrary Data parameter.
I believe that the Arbitrary data parameter is implemented correctly, and I have implemented all of the cases for PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK...
PF_Arbitrary_NEW_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_DISPOSE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_COPY_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLATTEN_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_UNFLATTEN_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_INTERP_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_COMPARE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_SCAN_FUNC
The only issue I have found, is that when importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects with the "Import -> Adobe Premiere Pro Project" option, the value in the Arbitrary Data
parameter is always the default. There is no problem saving or re-opening projects within AE or PP... and there are no problems with cutting and pasting instances of the effect.
Importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects using the Dynamic Link works correctly... the Arbitrary data is imported.
Thanks.

Some kind of answer would be awesome... there are Adobe staff members on here right?

Audio not in synch when importing from passthrough

I am trying to transfer some old home movies from VHS to DVD. I am using the passthrough on my Sony TRV-120 to connect the VCR to my Mac.
For some reason the audio is not synchronized with the video after import, however, when watching from the VHS tape it is fine.
Any help is appreciated.
My specs are as follows:
MacPro Quad Core 2.8 Ghz
FinalCut Pro Studio 2
OSX 10.5.4

I see this question on forums all the time and I see bonehead crap telling people to buy new hardware or software or other trivia. There are real-time, easily implemented things you can do that will fix the problem, immediately and without fail
1. Convert small as small a chunk as you can at a time. If its a concert, do it one song at a time. If a tv show, go commercial to commercial. The shorter the chunk, the less frames dropped and the less lag time and potential for getting really out of synch.
2. This is the most important factor: frame rate. The most likely reason you are getting out of synch is that your computer is not fast enough to keep up with the frame rate. Most set the rate at 30fps. Try tweaking it down to 20, then watch how many frames you drop as it's converting: most decent conversion software has a read-out telling you. I use Blaze Media Pro myself. If you are getting almost no dropped frames, you can probably bump it up some, if still too many, knock it down a little. There is very little noticeable difference in 15 to 30 fps, in fact, if you plan on uploading it to YouTube or otherwise converting it, the framerate is going to be sharply reduced anyway.
This is an almost foolproof way to avoid video/audio synching problems when converting from VHS. I took the time to post this because I was tired of seeing all the useless advice posted on this subject.
Video editing and conversion takes a lot of CPU power. If you really intend on getting into it in a big way, you'll need a strong CPU capable of handling the load. Other than that, framerate is probably your best bet in making do with what you have.

Audio tracks are lost after importing from iMovie...

After importing my movie from iMovie I lost my audio tracks. What is the problem ?

Hello kropacd (and Karsten;)):
I realize at this late time that this will be a pain..but you might want to try to extract your audio prior to exporting (sharing) to iDVD to se if that helps...
The only other thing I can imagine is that you used 12-bit audio in your video instead of 16-bit? It really needs to be 16-bit-check the setting on your camera.

Render video pon audio import from Soundtrack Pro

Unique issue I have here. My video is standard NTSC Animation Codec and is in my Sequence in FCS2. I import my project into Soundtrack Pro edit my audio, Export back into FCS 2 (following the manual to insure proper steps).
Once I arrive back into FCS2 my video needs to be rendered. It checked the codec and everything matches up fine. Why is it now asking me to render mt video?

Paul,
Did you edit to picture inside STP? And was it in sync there?
You may have an issue with a frequency shift. Audio doesn't have frames. It really runs in "real time." So if you shift frequencies the units per second change. It still has the same number of units, so ultimately the time changes.
How did you get the audio into STP in the first place?

Audio sync problem with videos imported from iPod Touch

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation that I used to shoot video at a family birthday party. When I imported the footage into iMovie '11, the audio is not in sync with the video (video is about two seconds behind audio) and there is only the left channel of audio. I verified that the video on the iPod plays just fine--no audio sync problem, both left and right channels work. I just upgraded to iOS 5 on the iPod Touch. The iMac is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
As a workaround, I can import the video into iPhoto instead. When I play the video in iPhoto, there are no audio sync problems and both channels of audio can be heard. I have imported other iPod Touch videos successfully into iMovie '11 in the past few months, but this has been the first time these problems have occurred. Any help would be appreciated.

Premiere cannot handle clips with variable framerate.
Your converted clips need to have constant framerate.
Otherwise use a converter like Handbrake.

Audio key frame jumps

I'm going through, leveling out my audio by adding audio level keyframes in the timeline. Easy stuff.
Sometimes when I add one, the line "jumps" down instead of staying at the current level.
Is there a way to stop it from doing this? It's is time consuming to re-adjust the level after most every keyframe. Thanks!

Still seems to happen with large audio tracks.
The Audio Mixer isn't too bad, but I still find it easier on the timeline for initial shouted words and mic bumps and whatnot.
Besides, the timeline doesn't move during playback, so there's no way of seeing what is coming up, except for doing it repeatedly... where you end up going to the timeline anyways.
I need to break out the midi controller.. see if I can avoid constantly switching between windows. Ill give it a shot on the next show. (Monday)
Thanks!
